Key learning points
- The present tense of 'aller' + infinitive means 'going to' + infinitive and describes future actions and events.
- Negation is two elements, e.g. 'ne … pas' or 'ne ... jamais', going around the main verb to express a negative meaning.
- To negate future ideas, put 'ne … pas' around the conjugated part of 'aller', followed by the infinitive.
